Napa County Emergency Alert Test

Napa County will test its Mass Notification Systems on Dec. 11, 2019, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
This test will use the Nixle and IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert & Warning System) that will send messages to cell phones in or near Aetna Springs, Pope Valley and Angwin.
The message will read: "Emergency Alert TEST message. Go to www.readynapacounty.org/IPAWS for feedback. No other action needed."
